SYRACUSE – It came down to the final few seconds for the second straight game, but the #t3/4 Orange (18-1, 6-0) triumphed again, defeating #21/20 Cincinnati (16-4, 4-2), 57-55, in the Carrier Dome on Monday afternoon.
The Orange upset then #1/1 Louisville on Saturday, 70-68, and hours after the new rankings came out on Monday were involved in another barn-burner.
With 1:30 remaining in the game, the Orange found itself trailing by three points, 55-52. Sophomore Michael Carter-Williams connected on a three-pointer to tie score. Junior C.J. Fair earned a steal on Cincinnati's subsequent possession and then tipped in the game-winner with 13 seconds left. The Bearcats tried one last three but Cashmere Wright missed and junior Baye Moussa Keita secured the rebound and the victory for Syracuse.
The victory extended the SU home court winning span to 35 straight games, which the longest active stretch in Division I and a Syracuse school record. The Orange also improved its current success streak to eight consecutive games.
Carter-Williams led the offense with 16 points, while senior Brandon Triche and Fair tallied 13 points apiece. Freshman Jerami Grant topped both clubs with seven rebounds..
Cincinnati, bolstered by two 3-pointers from Sean Kilpatrick and another by Cashmere Wright, built an early 9-5 lead. The Orange responded and held the Bearcats scoreless for the next 9:57 while tallying 10 unanswered points. SU eventually had its largest advantage at 20-13 before Cincinnati regrouped with a 5-0 run. The Orange led at the break, 22-18.
Cincinnati benefitted from the 3-point shot in the early stages of the second half. Back-to-back threes by Jaquon Parker and a three from Kilpatrick contributed to an 11-2 run that had the visitors ahead, 33-26. Seven straight points from Carter-Williams knotted the game at 36-36, and the contest was tied again at 38-38, but Cincinnati used an 11-4 run to go up 49-42..
Syracuse trailed 51-44 with five minutes left. Triche hit consecutive baskets that were partially offset by a three-ball from Parker. Grant dunked and Carter-Williams nailed a jumper to narrow the gap to 54-52 with 2:03 remaining.
Cheikh Mbodj made oneo-of-two from the line that pushed the Bearcats ahead, 55-52, before the Orange closed things out.
Syracuse is back in action on Saturday, Jan. 26, taking on Villanova at 11 a.m.
